What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Growing up, I've had wonderful tutors who shaped my learning. Having gotten inspired to pursue biomedicine all because of the passion and interest that my high school teacher had shown me, I understand how much teaching style can impact a student. Across mentoring at university, volunteering with children in schools, and teaching school concepts to my younger brother at home, I have identified that tutoring is a wonderful skill and a great source of satisfaction, which I wish to pursue further.

About Srutilayaa
About Me!
Hello, I am Layaa!
I am currently doing my 3rd Year of Bachelors in Biomedical Science at Monash University. I moved to Melbourne with my family 2 years ago, previously living in Singapore for 15+ years.
Hobbies
I've always enjoyed volunteering since I was a teen. This experience working with elderly and children not only instilled immense satisfaction in me but also opened up my passion to give back to the community. Apart from this, unwinding to gripping murder-mystery movies, listening to music and swimming are other activities I enjoy!

School homework - multiplication via skip counting, addition via segmentation Addition word problems - using segmentation method to solve 2 and 3 digit addition. Introduction to column addition and word problems with no carry overs.
School homework - more fluency and independency with division, picking a method to quickly solve simple division. - Sometimes loses focus and rushes to solve questions resulting in silly counting errors Addition - needs to get accustomed to writing down steps and column addition format. Needs more word problem and column addition practice for better timing.

Geometry - Good memory and good understanding of 2D shapes up to 10 sides. Can independently count sides and vertices. - Can name many 3D shapes well from school, understands faces, edges and vertices. Currency - Was able to grasp difference between dollars and cents. Was able to identify money at random. Addition - Good retention on how to add 2-digit numbers through column addition. Fractions - was able to identify and show halves and quarters on a circle.
Geometry - Independently indentifying vertices, faces and edges in 3D shapes. Tends to forget pyramids and triangular prism. Currency - Tends to struggle with applying 100 cents = $1 during activities. Addition - Struggles with understanding and consolidating questions for word problems. Needs some confidence.

2D shapes - Was able to learn heptagon and octagon quickly - Was able to remember last week's content with little prompts Money - Good understanding and retention of dollars, cents and was able to write given representations in words. - Able to think more quickly for change related questions and was able to think out of box as well with some prompting. Addition - Good accuracy and confidence with handling 2 and 3 digit additions independently. Subtraction - Can independently solve 2 and 3 digit subtraction. Fractions - great command and fluency with handling numerators and denominators, is able to understand how fractions can be represented diagrammatically.
2D shapes - Needs some practice to keep in touch with the newly learnt shapes (hexagon, heptagon, octagon). Money - Could notice some gaps in writing numbers in words. Still shows some confusions while calculating change. Addition - Can be quite forgetful on how to carry over, sometimes writes absolute numbers onto the answer row instead of carrying over. Subtraction - Can be quite forgetful with borrowing, tends to subtract greater numbers from smaller numbers without borrowing. These can be fixed with pratice.

- Overall good attempt with breaking down questions and trying to understand complex word problems. - Is keen to explore unclear concepts and make attempts - Good base of counting, skip counting, shapes up to 5 sides. - Is good with counting area grids and patterns and is able to solve these independently.
- Would benefit with a little more focus and practice: tends to be quite forgetful while explaining himself during questions. This makes it harder for him to remember linking answers for multi-step problems. - Needs some brushing up with shapes (5-10 sides), currency, time, perimeter and two-digit addition/subtraction. - Tables and removing dependency on counting with fingers.
